Hello!I'm using python 3.2.3 on debian wheezy. My script is called from my mail delivery agent (MDA) maildrop (like procmail) through it's xfilter directive. Script works fine when used interactively, e.g. ./script.py < testmail but when called from maildrop it's producing an infamous UnicodeDecodeError: File "/home/flindner/flofify.py", line 171, in main mail = sys.stdin.read() File "/usr/lib/python3.2/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] Exception for example is always like UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 869: ordinal not in range(128) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1176: ordinal not in range(128) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8c in position 846: ordinal not in range(128) I read mail from stdin "mail = sys.stdin.read()" Environment when called is: locale.getpreferredencoding(): ANSI_X3.4-1968 environ["LANG"]: C System environment when using shell is: ~ % echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 As far as I know when reading from stdin I don't need an decode(...) call, since stdin has a decoding. I also tried some decoding/encoding stuff but changed nothing. Any ideas to help me?
When run from maildrop it thinks that the encoding of stdin is ASCII. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
